You can even skip a range of commits, instead of just one commit,
using the "'<commit1>'..'<commit2>'" notation. For example:

------------
$ git bisect skip v2.5..v2.6
------------

would mean that no commit between `v2.5` excluded and `v2.6` included
can be tested.

Note that if you want to also skip the first commit of a range you can
use something like:

------------
$ git bisect skip v2.5 v2.5..v2.6
------------

and the commit pointed to by `v2.5` will be skipped too.
